There really isn't a better youtube channel for handing so much of the vocal community the "guys, grow up, let's just have fun" that they really need right now. I love T+E for being the light in a place artificially darkened by herd mentality at this time in WoW's history!

The herd that you decry you are also a part of, just a different herd with all of their blinders on.

Yes because criticism and facts are overrated. "OMG guyz, can't we just be besties? Blizzard has been targeted and harassed by these awful gamers who simply voice their opinions because free speech and also videogame companies are the most oppressed group on the internet, targeted by racists and mysoginists. Truly society has sunken to a new low, grow up! #respectBlizzard" -also in herd mentality

People who think that you aren't allowed to be negative about the game you love are the cancer of our community. Yes, we love the game, but that doesn't mean we have to be positive about everything, especially things that are wrong. Some people are so sick of the legitimate negative feedback about the game's condition atm, that they're willing to just blind themselves to it all and say that everything's fine, and that it's the "complainers" who are the problem. That is a sad and dangerous stance to take, and this youtube channel epitomizes it, being constant apologists to anything Blizzard does, and mocking those that are pointing out legitimate issues with the game.

The herd that you decry you are also a part of, just a different "all the blinders on" herd.\r\rI can see why one might think that, but the truth is....\r\r*whispering* I'm aware of the problems... and I don't care! \r\rThere's enough to do in the game that I can literally avoid all of the major issues by setting certain goals that don't go near the issues. The story will pull out of the slump it's in, high end gameplay will continue to be balanced for "the real pros can make it work," and I can accept that I'm not one of those pros, nor am I playing their tier of content. I'm having a blast right now, and I don't even have to fool myself to do so!\r\rWhat some may call blinders, I call not caring what the joneses are up to. The game has long been in a state where I don't have to care about the joneses, and thus I am still here!

Shutting up "complainers" serves you or any other guys with "blinders" on, to prove just how you don't want other people who have higher standards to enjoy the game, despite your incredibly low standards.

See what you call low, I call reasonable.

I would refer you to the general structure of a pyramid. The higher you go, the narrower it gets. By this logic, it stands to reason that the lion's share of the give-a-damn levels in the game and therefore the optimally spent dev time is for the lower end. When you get to the upper echelons, the vertex of the pyramid, it's still not an exact science, but the *insert your favorite world first contender here* of the world will find a way to make it work. The worst place to be is in the upper final tiers, where you think you belong at the levels perhaps a bit higher up, but no, balance issues just aren't there to enable just anyone to do that. The thing is, this tier is so small... you can't really expect heavy priority. The smart money is to either find enjoyment in the lower, broader, more robust tiers, or... well... take a long look in the mirror, I guess.

I can certainly agree that those in those upper-but-not-the-top tiers likely have a lot to complain about... But my problems aren't their problems, so I wish them luck (they'll need it) and go back to my "good enough is good enough" gameplay.

Why does everyone ignore the fact that T&E criticize the game? Even this video has a whole segment about how much T hates shop mounts. \r\rThey're just very positive people. They tend to see the good in everything. That doesn't mean they ignore the bad, they just don't focus on it. Considering how many WoW Youtubers zone in on the bad and seem incapable of thinking of anything else, they're the refreshing balance we need.

It's reasonable because you make a compromise actually because you like the game.\r\rYou wouldn't compromise if it was a restaurant and the waiter brought you uncooked meals. It's like you order potatoes, rice and meat and the meat is simply not cooked. What do you do? Avoid the meat, eat the potatoes and rice and at the end you say: ,,Oh, it was a good meal, i just ignore the problems, will come back again, what a wonderful chef!''. \r\rSee?\rYou should keep decent standards because you should respect yourself enough as a customer.

Eugh, where to start. First of all, thanks to T&E for making me laugh this morning. Second, thanks as well for being able to take a step back and spend those 5 seconds of research to think about plausibility. Another 5 seconds would also show that global equity prices look very similar to the chart of Activision Blizzard's stock price. The company's is worse than the market, but not as bad as it seems at first.\r\rThere are some reasonable complaints to be made about the current state of wow. Speaking as a long-suffering elemental shaman, class balance is one. But I do see too many complaints about dumbing down for casuals, or even welfare epics. The subs from the top guilds, even for argument' s sake all the cutting edge ones, do not pay for the game development. It needs the millions of other subscribers that never set foot into mythic to pay for that. Be happy Blizzard is finding ways to monetise mounts to keep enough funds for continued game development. There are plenty of other enjoyable targets in the game\r The hivemind is fantastic. I already miss Hippo watch. Obviously there needs to be an achievement in the game for something harder that gladiator, perhaps win a PvP arena match with me in your team.\r\rIt's great to have a voice of reason among all the dark mutterings of you tubers. And T&E have plenty of criticisms, too.\r\rWhat would be my view of the game- well I admit over the past few weeks to having lethargy, which is unusual mid expansion. I thought the world and initial story for BFA were fantastic, I really enjoyed levelling. World quests became a bore, and a nightmare as elemental. Azerite gear is massively frustrating, even more so I find than the horrendous RNG for leggo drops in legion. Hopefully 8.2 may fix that.

Being an edgy #$%^lord or &*!@ty edgelord or whatever is not helping. \r\rBut that's most of what I see in comments here, or on Facebook, or in the forums.

OK look I'm going to have to nitpick. I compromise at restaurants *all the time*. I ask the waitress for cold milk and she brings hot. I like a place's burgers, but not their chips. This one's food is fantastic, but you have to wait aaaages for it to be done. That one's food is done quickly, but it's greasy junk food. Sometimes you go and they're clearly just having a bad day. Maybe you're the sort of person to complain to the manager and make a scene every time things aren't 100% magnificently perfect, but I'm really not. Me, I like to just go and focus on having a good time.

The only time I feel the need to complain is when something has really gone horrifically, fundamentally wrong. And then maybe, maaayyybbeee I'll leave a bad review, but I'm honestly just more likely to go somewhere else next time, IF it was really that bad.

What I don't do is stalk that restaurant's facebook page, or live on websites where people discuss that restaurant, just so that I can repeatedly make a loud song and dance about how much I don't like it. I don't go running up to people eating at the restaurant to berate them for enjoying their meal. I don't start arguing with other reviewers who said they quite enjoyed their time, creating bizarre analogies in an effort to try prove to them they're wrong for not hating it like I do. Because I'm not an *absolute weirdo*.

It highly depends on what part of the game you enjoy.\r\rI enjoy casual hc pugs and story and the lore and races, but an important part for me is to be able to stand toe to toe with other players in solo pvp in warmode.\r\rWhen everyone is whining about azerite armor while most casters are free kills in owpvp by melee players with even half a brain, I can to enjoy the game.\r\rIt is their choice to simplify the game so much this happened and only push for 3v3 arena \u2018balance\u2019, but I won\u2019t be supporting something that clearly doesn\u2019t care about the part of the game I enjoy even though I like parts of the game and the aesthetic.

If i dont like a very large part of the game, i end up not liking the game and dont play it all.\rIt should just end there.\r\rHowever, it seems that others feel compelled to then demand others stop playing, start "disliking" or decrying any news from the game, start blaming developers and companies they know nothing about, and then start insulting the players who are still playing.\rThat's where the problem is.
